RSF Opel woodburning fireplace / central heat tie-in

I have an RSF Opel high efficiency wood burning fireplace that is rated to heat a 3000 sq. ft. home. The manufacturer offers many options to spread the heat around a house, including an option to tie-in to the plenum for circulation throughout the entire house duct system.

The kit does not come with the actual part that connects to the plenum, but the RSF engineer told me it needs to be installed so that the air from the fireplace enters at a 45 degree angle; this is accomplished by installing a deflector.
